Have you ever failed a test? I have. It’s pretty depressing, especially when you knew the material, but couldn’t manage to show it on the exam.

It’s good news that spiritual wisdom can’t be measured by teachers or tests. We show that we have received “wisdom from above” by the way we live each day.

One of the wisest people I have ever known was my college chaplain. Yes, he had a Ph.D., but that’s not what made him wise. What made him so inspiring to me was the way his life embodied the characteristics of this wisdom from above — purity, gentleness, obedience, mercy, goodness, integrity, and peacefulness.

Which of these characteristics is most evident in your life? Which one is lacking? Pray that God will change you today.
